Lesson 18: More Problems on Area and Circumference
Student Outcomes
Students examine the meaning of quarter circle and semicircle.
Students solve area and perimeter problems for regions made out of rectangles, quarter circles, semicircles,
and circles, including solving for unknown lengths when the area or perimeter is given.
Classwork
Opening Exercise (5 minutes)
Students use prior knowledge to find the area of circles, semicircles, and quarter circles and compare their areas to areas
of squares and rectangles.
Opening Exercise
Draw a circle with a diameter of and a square with a side length of on grid paper. Determine the area of
the square and the circle.
MP.1
Area of square: = ( ) = ; Area of circle: = ( ) =
Brainstorm some methods for finding half the area of the square and half the area of the circle.
Some methods include folding in half and counting the grid squares and cutting each in half and counting the squares.
Find the area of half of the square and half of the circle, and explain to a partner how you arrived at the area.
The area of half of the square is . The area of half of the circle is . Some students may count the squares;
others may realize that half of the square is a rectangle with side lengths of and and use = to
determine the area. Some students may fold the square vertically, and some may fold it horizontally. Some students will
try to count the grid squares in the semicircle and find that it is easiest to take half of the area of the circle.

What is the ratio of the new area to the original area for the square and for the circle?
The ratio of the areas of the rectangle (half of the square) to the square is : or : . The ratio for the areas of the
circles is : or : .
Find the area of one-fourth of the square and one-fourth of the circle, first by folding and then by another method. What
is the ratio of the new area to the original area for the square and for the circle?
Folding the square in half and then in half again will result in one-fourth of the original square. The resulting shape is a
square with a side length of and an area of . Repeating the same process for the circle will result in an area
of . The ratio for the areas of the squares is : or : . The ratio for the areas of the circles is : or
: .
Write an algebraic expression that expresses the area of a semicircle and the area of a quarter circle.

Semicircle: = ; Quarter circle: =

Example 1 (8 minutes)
Example 1

Find the area of the following semicircle. Use .

If the diameter of the circle is , then the
radius is . The area of the semicircle is half
of the area of the circular region.

( )

What is the area of the quarter circle? Use .

( )

Let students reason out and vocalize that the area of a quarter circle must be one-fourth of the area of an entire circle.

Discussion
Students should recognize that composition area problems involve the decomposition of the shapes that make up the
entire region. It is also very important for students to understand that there are several perspectives in decomposing
each shape and that there is not just one correct method. There is often more than one correct method; therefore, a
student may feel that his solution (which looks different than the one other students present) is incorrect. Alleviate that
anxiety by showing multiple correct solutions. For example, cut an irregular shape into squares and rectangles as seen
below.
Example 2
Marjorie is designing a new set of placemats for her dining room table. She sketched a drawing of the placement on
graph paper. The diagram represents the area of the placemat consisting of a rectangle and two semicircles at either end.
Each square on the grid measures inches in length.
Find the area of the entire placemat. Explain your thinking regarding the solution to this problem.
The length of one side of the rectangular section is inches in length, while the width is inches. The radius of the
semicircular region is inches. The area of the rectangular part is ( ) ( ) = . The total area must include
the two semicircles on either end of the placemat. The area of the two semicircular regions is the same as the area of one
circle with the same radius. The area of the circular region is = ( ) = . In this problem, using .
makes more sense because there are no fractions in the problem. The area of the semicircular regions is
approximately . . The total area for the placemat is the sum of the areas of the rectangular region and the two
semicircular regions, which is approximately ( + . ) = . .
Common Mistake: Ask students to determine how to solve this problem and arrive at an incorrect solution of
196.48 in2 . A student would arrive at this answer by including the area of the circle twice instead of once
(50.24 in + 50.24 in + 96 in).

264
If Marjorie wants to make six placemats, how many square inches of fabric will she need? Assume there is no waste.
There are placemats that are each . , so the fabric needed for all is . = . .
Marjorie decides that she wants to sew on a contrasting band of material around the edge of the placemats. How much
band material will Marjorie need?
The length of the band material needed will be the sum of the lengths of the two sides of the rectangular region and the
circumference of the two semicircles (which is the same as the circumference of one circle with the same radius).

problem.

b. What is the radius?

If the diameter is , then the radius is half of that or .

c. What is the area?

3. If students only know the radius of a circle, what other measures could they determine? Explain how students
would use the radius to find the other parts.
If students know the radius, then they can find the diameter. The diameter is twice as long as the radius. The
circumference can be found by doubling the radius and multiplying the result by . The area can be found by
multiplying the radius times itself and then multiplying that product by .

4. Find the area in the rectangle between the two quarter circles if = ft, = ft, and = ft. Use

. Each quarter circle in the top-left and lower-right corners have the same radius.

The area between the quarter circles can be found by subtracting the area of
the two quarter circles from the area of the rectangle. The area of the
rectangle is the product of the length and the width. Side has a length of

covered by the sprinklers can be found by subtracting the area of the two
smaller semicircles from the area of the large semicircle.
